Just bumping this general thread for University District. Does anyone know the status of the Gramercy? Has Gracorp Capital changed it to be now "block 15"? I don't see the Gramercy appear on their project website anymore, and instead there is this new Block 15 one. It is difficult to tell from the renderings where this is on the overall plan for UD.

Edit: Looking at it further, is this just to the north of the Gramercy? I think it is, so across the laneway from it, where @Surrealplaces has #15 on his map up above. Perhaps time for a new number?

Block 15 - Gracorp

Block 15 is Gracorp’s newest residential project located in the heart of the University District in Calgary, Alberta.

Yep, Block 15 is a different project from Gramercy. There was a rumor of a highrise project just north of Gramercy (seen in some renderings of Block 23) and now we know it's true

Great scale for the area. Add this and the ALT hotel, and UD is going to have its own little skyline.

New DP in the University District for 2 new buildings

DMAP

This is for the parcel directly to the north of the Gramercy, which on the U/D master plan includes a tower. So hopefully this means the NW might be getting a new addition to the skyline in the coming years

Yeah I think that one is called Argyle (?) and I’m pretty sure it has already released renders and has a thread. Great news that they’ve submitted their DP.

Argyle is the block to the East of Gramercy

Looks awesome, but I wish they utilized more of that rooftop space.

It looks like that is included on the roof of the mid-rise portion. It has a railing that looks to probably outline the area that will be outdoor/rooftop amenity space. Happy this one is white spandrel i am tired of all the grey/black towers everywhere and i prefer how 11th and 11th turned out.

The scale is amazing. I’ll order 35 of these for the Beltline, Mission, East Village, Bridgeland, and Kensington/West Hillhurst please

The definitely nailed the scale.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

It reminds me of the scale/massing of Evolution in the EV, basically perfect. I’m not even mad it doesn’t have retail at the base since Gramercy fits in perfectly next to this, with good street interaction and retail.

Looks like U/D is going to have its own little skyline.

Hopefully the hotel at University district Gets completed.

It’s not really an “if”, it’s just a “when”, and it won’t be that long.
